Ascher Databook Notes:
- This is one of several khipus acquired b y the Museum in 1907 with provenance Pachacamac. For a list of them, see KH0110.
- By spacing, the khipu is separated into 2 parts. Part 1 consists of 10 subparts, each of which is 7 groups of 3 pendants. Each of the 70 groups has the same color pattern: W, B, W. Part 2 consists of 10 groups of 7 pendants each. The pendants in groups 1 and 10 are B, and those in groups 2-9 are BB.
- In part 1, all the pendants in the first 9 subparts are zero-valued (or blank). Similarly, in part 2, all the pendants in the first 9 groups are zero-valued (or blank).
